The amount of energy in molecules of matter determines the state of matter. Matter can exist in one of several different states, including a gas, liquid, or solid state. ... A gas is a state of matter in which atoms or molecules have enough energy to move freely.

Which of the following choices would have a positive entropy change?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

  • The option <u><em>B) Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3C(s) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g),</em></u> because the reactants are only solid units and the products contain gas molecules.

Explanation:

A <em>positive entropy change</em> means that the entropy of the products is greater than the entropy of the reactants.

Entropy in a measure of the radomness or disorder of the system.

Let's see every reaction:

<u />

<u>A) 4NO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (l) + O₂ (g) → 4 HNO₃ (aq)</u>

Since 5 molecules of a gas (high disorder) combines with 2 molecules of liquid to produce 4 units of aqueous HNO₃ you may expect that the product is more ordered than the reactants, which means that the change in entropy is negative (the entropy decreases).

<u />

<u>B) Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3C(s) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)</u>

The left side (reactants) show only solid substances which is a highly ordered arrangement while the right side (products) show the formation a solid (ordered arrangement) and a gas (highly disoredered arrangement), so you can predict the increase of the system entropy, i.e. a positive entropy change.

The <u>equation C)</u> shows the combination of 12 gas molecules to produce 1 solid and 6 gas molecules, so you can expect that the entropy will decrease, i.e. a negative entropy change.

For <u>equation D)</u> the products include solid and gas reactants while the product is just one unit of solid substance, letting you to predict a negative entropy change.

What pattern appears in the horizontal arrangement (rows) of the elements in the Periodic Table, moving from left to right?
Liula [17]
The horizontal rows in the periodic table are periods, while the vertical rows are called groups. The elements moving from left to right in "periods" have increasing atomic numbers.

Independent Assessment 1 Directions: Choose the correct concept about the occurrence of an earthquake and a volcanic eruption. W
Julli [10]

Volcanoes and earthquakes occur due to movement of the Earth's tectonic plates.

<h3>How volcanoes and earthquake occur?</h3>

Both volcanoes and earthquakes occur due to movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. They both occurs due to the heat and energy that is releasing from the Earth's core. Earthquakes can increase or fastens the volcanic eruptions through severe movement of tectonic plates.

Volcanoes eruption occurs when molten rock called magma rises to the surface. Magma is formed when the earth's mantle part melts due to higher temperature.

So we can conclude that volcanoes and earthquakes occur due to movement of the Earth's tectonic plates.
